Actor Wendell Pierce discusses how claiming one's one self-worth is a radical and necessary act in the face of racism in America. He joined us to discuss a "12 Angry Men," a new production giving voice to the experience of racial profiling and what it means to be a black man in America today. The production is currently in a sold-out run at The Kumble Theater, presented by The Billie Holiday Theatre at The Center for Arts & Culture of Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation.
